Our take

The glass boat is the only glass-sided dinner boat on our dinner cruises page. You board at King Street Wharf 5 in Darling Harbour at 7pm, sail at 7:15pm and return at 9pm, with a chef's four-course menu and views of the Opera House and the Bridge from every seat. A wine pairing is optional and must be chosen when you book; otherwise drinks come from the bar.

It is also the one we would skip for now. It rates 4.0 from only 11 reviews, and reviewers describe a cancelled sailing and trouble finding the right wharf, so arrive 15 minutes before boarding and find Wharf 5 in daylight if you can. Our page notes it is not wheelchair accessible. It refunds in full up to 24 hours before, which is more forgiving than some dinner cruises. We will look at it again at the next quarterly check.

Good for

  • Couples who want an unusual boat and a set menu
  • A shorter dinner, back by 9pm

Think twice if

  • You want a proven record. The bigger cruises have far more reviews
  • You need wheelchair access
